v1.27.0

What's Changed

This patch adds a few new features to Base Plot and Archive Time Plot along with some bug fixes. We added labels on crosshairs for Time Plots, Archive Time Plots and Waveform Plots and fixed how crosshairs were working. We addressed an issue with dynamically switching a channel on a PyDMWidget.

This update also adds another slew of changes that are needed for PySide6 support in PyDM. (Note that Pyside6 support is currently still in progress and will be fully enabled in a future release. Using Pyside6 will also be an optional feature and should not effect how PyDM currently uses PyQt5.)
